Rahul Dravid approached by KKR as direct replacement of Gautam Gambhir?

Gautam Gambhir, who was brought in by the Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor in 2024, helped the side in winning their third IPL title. However, Gambhir is reportedly set to become the new head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team, implying that KKR will now have to fill the vacant spot for the 2025 season and who better than Rahul Dravid to replace Gambhir.

Dravid has already stepped down from the role of India’s head coach, with June 29 being his final day of work. However, it seems like Dravid will not need to wait long for another job as a report in News 18 claims that the former India captain has been approached by various IPL franchises.

The report further added that KKR, who are desperately looking for an able replacement for Gambhir, is among those IPL teams that want Dravid as a coach or mentor for the 2025 season. The franchise is also willing to make an offer that is more lucrative than Team India, where he earned INR 12 crore as the head coach.
